Air circulation is very important to get full performance and long life from an electric motor. Do not block the suction inlets on fan cooled motors. Life of the motor will be decreased if its temperature exceeds its thermal rating. The allowable temperature is stamped on the motor nameplate.

Prior to permanently wiring the electric motor:

Check nameplate data on motor to assure that the available power supply agrees with the motor requirements. Protective devices should be the proper size and rating to safely carry the load and to interrupt the circuit on overloads.
Check motor leads with connection diagrams on motor nameplate and/or conduit box so that the proper connections are made. All motors should be installed in accordance with the National Electric Code and local requirements.
Check the gear drive output shaft rotation against the proper rotation indicated on the unit nameplate. Single phase motors must be purchased with the proper direction of rotation; for standard three-phase electric motors, the rotation is reversed by switching any two power leads.
Check operating motor amperage against motor nameplate amperage.

The motor should start quickly and run smoothly. If the motor should fail to start or if it makes abnormal noise, immediately shut motor off, disconnect it from the power supply, and investigate the cause. If the problem cannot be corrected, contact us for assistance.
